Description: With IFRS 17 effective this year, come learn about the performance management capabilities provided by IFRS 17 with traditional analysis under IFRS4, and with LDTI under USGAAP. You will begin with an introduction to the IFRS 17 landscape post implementation, followed by a comparison of profit measurement and earning analysis key performance indicators (KPIs) pre- and post-IFRS 17, and ends with an exploration of the common philosophy of earning recognition between LDTI and IFRS 17 beyond the calculation differences.

Description: The tape has finally been broken on live reporting with International Financial Reporting Standard 17 (IFRS 17). The insurance industry across much of the world now pivots focus from implementation efforts to assessing disclosed impacts of the new global standard. During this session, the presenters will explore how equity positions are changing for companies after adopting IFRS 17, particularly given the recent interest rate environment.

Description: Go over how the actuarial processes have changed over the past 10+ years with the move to PBR, US GAAP LDTI, IFRS 17 and other emerging requirements.

Description: Internal modernization initiatives and external changes of the financial reporting regulations (e.g., LDTI, IFRS 17) increase the amount of validation activities for actuarial models. In addition, the use of predictive analytics in actuarial modeling requires a different set of validation skillsets/techniques in model validation. These internal and external forces call for a structured, streamlined and robust model validation practice.

Description: After the arduous journeys IFRS 17 filers underwent to implement the standard, it would only make sense for insurers to seek the best return on their investment post effective date of 1/1/2023. Many insurers are now embarking a new phase of the journey that involves wrapping up any unfinished business as they might have taken a minimum compliance route to finish implementation and thinking about the knock-on effects the new standard has on the way they carry out business and perform financial reporting.

Description: An overview of John Robinson's experience at the recently concluded annual meeting of the Caribbean Actuarial Association in Trinidad.

Description: "Most patients enter the health care system through their primary care provider or through the Emergency Room or an Urgent Care Center. How an emergency room is structured, managed, and provides care is one of the major forces impacting the total cost of care. Yet it is often an after-thought and ignored by both health plans and health systems. In reality, the structured introduction of efficient practices can substantially reduce the quantity and cost of health care services. Further explore useful information to better understand and see how there are still substantial opportunities for improvement."

Description: "Are you a health actuary affected by recent developments in business practices and accounting standards that have created situations in which you may be involved in estimating balances under accounting rules that differ from those typically used by insurers? In this session you will learn about situations where non-insurance accounting regimes may intersect actuarial practice, with an intended focus on two particular topics. One topic is general accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for insurance brokers under ASC 606 (Revenue Recognition) for commissions on Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement contracts, where the broker may get to recognize the expected value of all future commissions on a contract as revenue when the contract is placed. The other topic is GAAP under ASC 460 (Guarantees) in situations where a non-provider entity is bearing risk related to health care services, which can occur under the CMS Direct Contracting/ACO REACH model or under private sector care coordination contracts."
